A former U.S. Army Band member who served 25 years in the military has filed a federal lawsuit alleging he was forced out of the Army on “false” charges that followed nearly two years of harassment and religious discrimination related to his expression of conservative — specifically anti-Barack Obama — political views.

TheBlaze reported on the difficulties Master Sgt. Nathan Sommers said he was facing in a story last June, which focused on Sarah Palin’s social media blitz in support of the decorated vet. Since one of the roadblocks Sommers said he faced was an order to not read books by conservative authors — including Sean Hannity, David Limbaugh, and Mark Levin — while in uniform, Palin asked Facebook users to post photos of themselves holding “liberty-loving books.”

But the book-reading dust-up is merely one among many improper actions taken by his Army superiors, Sommers’ 25-page lawsuit alleges.
